When choosing a mobility scooter, comfort, range and performance are often at the top of the list. The One Rehab Alpine 8mph Mobility Scooter brings all three together, which is why we've chosen it as our Scooter of the Week.
The Alpine is designed for people who want more from their scooter than simply getting from A to B. Whether it's a trip into town, a day out with family or travelling further afield, it offers the comfort and capability needed for longer journeys.
Go Further with Confidence
One of the Alpine's biggest advantages is its impressive range of up to 35 miles (56km) on a single charge. Powered by 75Ah batteries, it gives users the freedom to enjoy longer days out without constantly worrying about how much battery they have left.
For customers who regularly travel longer distances, that extra range can make a significant difference.
Built for Comfort
What we particularly like about the Alpine is the attention given to comfort. The large, fully adjustable Captain's seat provides excellent support, particularly on longer journeys. The gas-assisted tiller can also be adjusted to help users find a comfortable driving position.
Combined with the scooter's 13-inch wheels and full all-round suspension, the Alpine is designed to provide a smooth ride over everyday bumps and uneven surfaces.
Extra Confidence When Cornering
Another excellent feature is the Alpine's automatic cornering safety system. When the scooter detects that you are turning, it automatically reduces the speed to help improve stability. It's the type of feature you may barely notice while driving, but it can provide additional reassurance and confidence, particularly for newer scooter users.
Practical for Everyday Use
The Alpine can be supplied with either pneumatic tyres, offering excellent ride comfort, or solid puncture-proof tyres for those wanting to reduce the risk of punctures. Optional canopies and weather protection accessories are also available, making the Alpine a practical option for customers who want to use their scooter throughout the year. For visibility, it is fitted with a full LED lighting system, an important feature for customers travelling during darker mornings and evenings. The Alpine also has a maximum user weight of 25 stone (160kg), making it suitable for a wide range of users.
Our Verdict
The Alpine earns its place as our Scooter of the Week because it combines the features we think matter most in a larger 8mph mobility scooter: comfort, range, stability and practicality. The 35-mile maximum range, comfortable Captain's seat, all-round suspension, large wheels and automatic cornering safety system make it particularly appealing for people who want to travel further and use their scooter for more than just short local journeys.
If you're upgrading from a smaller scooter, or looking for your first larger road-going mobility scooter, the One Rehab Alpine is certainly one to consider.
At Ability Plus, we always recommend trying a mobility scooter before making your final decision. The right scooter should not only have the specifications you need - it should also feel comfortable, manageable and right for you.
